Book Review: The Golden Enclaves by Naomi Novik

The Golden Enclaves
by Naomi Novik (Novik)

Naomi Novik is my favorite contemporary author. Since the publication of His Majesty’s Dragon (from the Temeraire series) I have waited rather impatiently for each book that this brilliant author has released. No book was more anticipated than The Golden Enclaves, book three in the Scholomance series. Book two, The Last Graduate, ended with a cliffhanger which desperately needed to be resolved. The Golden Enclaves starts right where book two left us — with the main character finally out of the Scholomance School, but without her friend and partner, Orion. The entire mission of this book is to resolve the chaos that is now engulfing the world, which only El can do, with a little help from her classmates. El must face her fears and the truth about who she is in order to help society to survive. This was another book that was nearly impossible to put down. I look forward to seeing what new stories are published by this incredibly talented and creative author.

 

(If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The Temeraire series, Spinning Silver, Rooted, or The Scholomance series all also by Naomi Novik, or The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.)
